A Next-Generation Sequencing Approach Uncovers Viral Transcripts Incorporated in Poxvirus Virions
Transcripts are known to be incorporated in particles of DNA viruses belonging to the families of Herpesviridae and Mimiviridae, but the presence of transcripts in other DNA viruses, such as poxviruses, has not been analyzed yet.

Lausannevirus Seroprevalence among Asymptomatic Young Adults. [PDF]
Objectives: The giant Lausannevirus was recently identified as a parasite of amoeba that replicates rapidly in these professional phagocytes. This study aimed at assessing Lausannevirus seroprevalence among asymptomatic young men in Switzerland and ...

Abstract Viruses infecting aquatic microbes vary immensely in size, but the ecological consequences of virus size are poorly understood. Here we used a unique suite of diverse phytoplankton strains and their viruses, all isolated from waters around Hawai'i, to assess whether virus size affects the suppression of host populations.

Eukaryotic virus composition can predict the efficiency of carbon export in the global ocean [PDF]
海洋ウイルスの種組成と炭素の鉛直輸送の相関を確認 --ウイルスによる地球環境の制御を示唆. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2021-01-15.The biological carbon pump, in which carbon fixed by photosynthesis is exported to the deep ocean through sinking, is a major process in Earth's carbon cycle. The proportion of primary

Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

Mimivirus reveals Mre11/Rad50 fusion proteins with a sporadic distribution in eukaryotes, bacteria, viruses and plasmids [PDF]
Background The Mre11/Rad50 complex and the homologous SbcD/SbcC complex in bacteria play crucial roles in the metabolism of DNA double-strand breaks, including DNA repair, genome replication, homologous recombination and non-homologous end ...

As a local breed adapted to the extreme environment of the Tibetan Plateau, Tibetan pigs have not yet been systematically characterized in terms of their gut viral communities. In this study, we applied viral metagenomics to sequence fecal samples from 191 Tibetan pigs (including both healthy and diarrheal individuals) across four farms in Nyingchi ...

Biogeography of marine giant viruses reveals their interplay with eukaryotes and ecological functions [PDF]
海洋巨大ウイルスの地理的分布を全球規模で解明 --海域による特異性が明らかに--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2020-09-08.Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) are ubiquitous in marine environments and infect diverse eukaryotes. However, little is known about their biogeography and ecology in the ocean.

The effects of stress on gut virome: Implications on infectious disease and systemic disorders
Stress conditions can weaken the host's immune system, affecting the entire gut–brain axis. Concurrently, disruptions in the composition of the gut microbiota are associated with exacerbations of diseases. This review explores the complex interplay between stress, gut virome, and the host immune system.
